Centaur Theatre’s Brave New Looks presents Scapegoat Carnivale Theatre’s "Oedipus Part One: Assembly" written by Sophocles, directed by Andreas Apergis, and adapted by Joseph Shragge from a literal translation by Lynn Kozak.

Oedipus Part One: Assembly is a powerful depiction of a city-wide crisis centering on King Oedipus’ quest to rid Thebes of a devastating plague brought on by a mysterious curse. His pursuit of its cause has far reaching consequences for the city and for himself. The play opens with a group of citizens supplicating at Oedipus’ palace gates, but we quickly learn that these protests are occurring throughout the metropolis. It is against this backdrop of civic collectivity that the truth of Oedipus' past violence and present taboo-filled turmoil comes to light.
